Form: The NX100 is a performance-oriented digital that minimalists should be able to love. Intelligently designed with a refreshing scarcity of buttons, knobs, and switches, it’s a fetching little slab of a camera with a lens attached.

Function: As one of the top new mirrorless models (a category of compact near-DSLR-quality cameras) on the market, the NX100 manages to pack an impressive amount of power—a 14.6-megapixel sensor and a changeable lens—in an appealingly small, affordable package.
